Even you guys have to miss the big 3.75" diorama displays at SDCC? That was cool stuff for everyone to enjoy. US not getting anything new I mean nothing except for a pack of Skittle Pools is sad. We all collect Marvel stuff and can show appreciation to each other and apathy to us, the 3.75" collector. You have to admit, we got the shaft.

It's definitely sad, especially since MU always seemed to be treated like the red-headed step-child of Hasbro's action figure properties (though that dubious honour now seems to have fallen upon the venerable progenitor of all action figures, G.I. Joe himself).

The paintjobs were bad, headsculpts always seemed to fall just inside the wrong end of the uncanny valley, and there were constantly-changing problems with the proportions and articulation of the base bodies (the comic-style figures accompanying the movies were much more stylistically harmonious, but always fewer and farther between). I do take some consolation, though, from the meteoric rise of 1/18th-scale Kickstarters, like Marauder Task Force, Vitruvian H.A.C.K.S., Eagle Force, Captain Action, Hell Screamerz and the like, most of which far surpass Hasbro's recent attempts in the scale. I'm particularly looking forward to the new Sectaurs and Power Lords.
